>Hello:
>
>I want to thank everyone who sent in books for the Flea Market this year in
>Dallas.  It was a big success.  Even though the Flea Market went till 7 pm.,
>most of the books were well picked over and being boxed up by 6:30.  Of
>course, all of the twin vision books were gone within 30 minutes.
>
>For those of you who were there, you know how exciting it is to see everyone
>rush in the room to get to their preferred books first.  For those of you
>who do not attend the Flea Market, it is hard to describe just how fast
>parents, kids and educators stream into the room in all directions, to grab
>up the Harry Potter book to complete their set, or the home schoolers that
>rush to the reference section.  Twin Vision books are the most popular and
>that area is swamped!
>
>It is exciting to see the kids that grab a pile and find a spot to sort
>through them at a fast leisure.
>
>Needless to say, this is not a traditional book fair.
>
>As we have only 5 hours to open, sort, organize, stack and prepare the boxes
>and room for the event, I do not know just who all contributes.  I wish I
>did.  So, a wide spread thank you will have to do.
>
>Thank you to all of you who helped to make this such a bit success.
